Lete For Comicon

I didn't get a ticket for Comic Con. Too Late. Perhaps one of my friends will invite me (hint, hint).
Instead I will be attending two related Aerospace tours that are scheduled for Saturday, July 31 at Mojave Airport. SAE members may go to the SoCal SAE website at http://socal.sae.org.
There is an "Upcoming Events!" box in the middle of the page. Two new tours are now posted, both for the Mojave Spaceport; both on Saturday, July 31. One at 10:00 in the morning; the second at 1:30 in the afternoon.

With any luck there will be pictures! Not as good as these: http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/sae/AEMSample/#/1/OnePage

Normally I work on trucks and buses, not airplanes or space ships.

Here is a full scale fire test on a bus. The pipe from the roof is a sampling line for gas measurements.







We can rebuild it, we have the technology.
